Today, the story of “why I’m Catholic” is highlighted at the website of the same name: Why I’m Catholic. If you haven’t heard of the site, it is essentially a growing repository of Catholic conversion stories. What I like best about it is that it features stories from many backgrounds and walks of life: agnostic converts, atheist converts, Hindu converts, Buddhist converts–even “Pagan” converts. That diversity reveals the many unique paths that people have taken toward the Church.
So when you visit the site, be sure to browse some of the other stories as well!
(P.S. If you scroll down to the bottom of the article, you’ll find a picture of a wobbly-legged, younger me, rocking a sharp tuxedo–so fly.)
